Yea, thinking bigger :) Just got a MHx2/PC 96x2/LED combo light for 48" at $800 a few months ago -- interested in keeping it to 48" because of that. Thinking a 90, ?bow, might be enough of a jump. It's on a main floor of a house, but strong truss construction (not joists), at a corner, and...

Hi there -- So, I'm looking for sage wisdom from those that have moved/upgraded well-established, existing systems. :help: I have a 65 glass reef that's been in place for 7 years without significant issue and looks great -- unfortunately, somebody whacked the corner of the tank with...

alsie -- In regards to distance to destination. My Maxxima Hi-S 35G/d unit is in my basement. There's a sixty foot run from the utility end of my basement, across the basement rafters and up the other end of the house to the tank -- a twelve foot vertical run overall. Water comes out just...

Mine split about 10 days ago -- pretty surprising to see two BT's come out from behind a large piece of LR. They've both taken up typical residence and are eating well. They're very fluffy and look happy. :) The percula is enjoying himself thoroughly. I've read two streams on this BB -- one...

I also have a Bakpak 2 CPR skimmer -- Regarding noise -- not so bad. I think that most skimmers will make some noise. This is quieter than most I've heard. Noise will depend on where it is placed. I moved last November...previously I ran the skimmer on a timer as the tank was in the living...

I use it in my system, after some investigation. It did help raise my Calcium (would tend to drift below 400). I dose it when I go to bed, that way I don't have to look at the cloudy tank. :) It's clear by the morning. There's been several posts regarding Aragamilk, but usually misspelled...

I have a piece of LR which is mostly covered with green star polyps and in the center there _was_ a small colony of what I think to be Figi Button Polyps (Palythoa sp.). (Picture is example of the polyp, not from my tank.) The problem is that this colony of Palythoa is in the process of...

I've been using agaraMILK for ~2 months. My calcium levels have come up a bit (typically ran low-normal, now mid 400's). My coralline has taken off! Now, this was an established system that moved to a new home four months ago, so it may be that all of the details are finally stabilizing, but...

As stated, this is probably a highly variable process depending on almost everything going in and out of your tank. My experience -- having done the same thing while moving to a new house last November -- is that my values all looked reasonably good from day one, but the tank just didn't act the...

I've seen these spots on my cleaners, too. Not too sure what they are. They don't seem to impact them in the least. They don't "break open" like you'd expect with an egg sac (e.g., parasite larvae, etc.) They're just there. They go away with the next molting. I've got one cleaner that gets...

Regarding the disappearing peppermints... I have a couple in my 65g, they really can hide! If they don't come out at feeding time, I've found mine by turning the lights out, waiting a while, then going hunting with a dim flashlight. Sometimes it seems like they go on vacation for a few days...
